During the press conference, Howard showed gameplay video for Fallout Shelter. In the game, players build their own Vault and are responsible for the shelter’s maintenance and well being of its dwellers.

Howard indicated that Fallout Shelter was inspired by an RPG called Progress Quest, and he encouraged gamers to check the game out.

Fallout Shelter is free-to-play with no paywalls or internet connection required. As Howard promised, the game is available to download now in the Apple Store. Here is the link.

Note: I tried to download the game around midnight, Central Time, but couldn’t. According to a Tweet by Pete Hines, Bethesda Vice President, it may take a bit of time for iTunes to update. The Tweet also alluded to an Android version of Fallout Shelter.
